Abstract

PURPOSE:To store a message from a public network to the specified extension of a constitutive electronic exchange network by making PBX dial-in incoming at a specified trunk. CONSTITUTION:A multifunctional telephone set 101 with display device transmits dial information for setting call incoming refusal, and this dial information is stored in a storage device 111 corresponding to an extension phone number. In the case of call incoming from a public network 108, the storage device 111 is retrieved based on callee number information, and it is identified whether the call incoming refusal is already set or not. When it is identified that the call incoming refusal is already set, a central processing unit 110 instructs the transmission of an absent response message to the caller of the public network to a voice storage device, and a telephone set 105 listening to this absent response message inputs the message to the subscriber of the multifunctional telephone set 101 with display device. This message is stored in the storage device 11 and the display lamp of the multifunctional telephone set 101 with display device so as to inform that the message arrives during absence.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message storage system, and more particularly to a storage system for response messages to incoming calls from public networks and messages from other parties.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional message storage systems generally store messages from extensions connected to a private branch exchange network.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] This conventional message storage method stores messages from extensions connected to the private branch exchange network, so there is no connection between the public network and the private branch exchange network. There was a problem in that messages could not be sent to extensions.

An object of the present invention is to provide a message storage system that allows messages to be stored from a public network to a specific extension of a private branch exchange.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The message storage system of the present invention is provided with a voice storage device for storing unanswered messages and messages in a private branch exchange network having a PBX dial-in call receiving function, Dial information for incoming call rejection settings from a plurality of connected multifunctional telephones with display functions is stored in a storage device corresponding to extension numbers, and when a call is received from a public network, the storage device is searched from the called party number information. and when it is determined that the incoming call rejection setting has been set, the voice storage device is instructed to send an absent response message to the caller on the public network side, and the voice storage device that has heard the absent response message Messages sent from the calling party to the called party are stored, and a display lamp is lit on the called party's multifunctional telephone with a display function to indicate that messages are stored while the calling party is absent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. An extension multifunction telephone 101 having a display device 102 is connected to a main switch 109 via a subscriber line circuit 103. The telephone 105 is connected to the public network 108 and the central office trunk 10.
4 to the main switch 109. The message input means 107 to the multifunction telephone 1 is the modulation device 10
6. Connected to public network 108 via telephone 105. A central processing unit 110 that controls the office line trunk 104, the subscriber circuit 103, and the main switch 109 is connected to the storage device 11.
1. It has a voice storage device 112 that stores response messages to the effect that the extension handler is absent.

[0008] When the person handling the extension of the multi-function telephone 101 is absent, the person handling the extension takes the multi-function telephone 101 off-hook and dials a special number for the call rejection service. The central processing unit 110 recognizes that the multifunction telephone 101 is registered to reject incoming calls, and stores this in the storage device 111. After that, the operator of telephone 105 goes off-hook,
When the PBX dial-in number of the multifunction telephone 101 is dialed, a call is received from the public network 108 to the central office trunk 104 . Central processing unit 110 recognizes that the call is received from public network 108 to multifunction telephone 101 . Furthermore, since the multi-function telephone 101 is set to reject incoming calls, the central office line trunk 104 and voice storage device 112 are switched to the main switch 109.
control and connect. The voice storage device 112 reproduces the registered absent response message from the multifunction telephone 101 and sends it to the central office trunk 104 and the public network 108 to indicate that the person handling the extension of the multifunction telephone 101 that received the call is absent.
The operator of the telephone 105 is notified via. When the operator of the telephone 105 hears this absent response message and dials a special number from the telephone 105 indicating that the message to be stored for the multifunction telephone 101 is to be stored, the central processing unit 110
recognizes that this is an accumulation of messages from the public network 108 to the multifunction telephone 101. Subsequently, the operator of telephone 105 inputs a message using input means 107. The central processing unit 110 stores the input message in the storage device 111, and then displays a message on the display device 102 of the multifunction telephone 101 indicating that there is a message. When the person handling the extension of the multi-function telephone 101 returns home, he knows from the display that there is a message and dials a special number for reading the message. Central processing unit 110 detects this special number, reads out the message sent to multifunction telephone 101 from storage device 111, displays it on display device 102, and the process ends.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that messages can be stored from a public network to a specific extension of a private branch exchange network by receiving a PBX dial-in call through a specific trunk. be.
